MFF 2021-2027 Sectoral Proposals • The Commission will present sector-specific acts’ proposals between 29 May and mid- June 2018. These will establish the EU's spending programmes in various policy areas under shared, direct and indirect management and will define the conditions for eligibility and the criteria for national pre-allocations. • These are generally adopted under the ordinary legislative procedure by the Council and the European Parliament. The agreement of the European Council on the financial and horizontal aspects of the MFF provides guidance to the Council. 4

The Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) of the EU Budget • Provides a minimum of 5 years framework for the EU annual budgets, ensuring that EU spending stays within the agreed limits. • Lays down the maximum annual amounts (ceilings) which the EU may spend in different categories (headings). ◦ Commitment appropriations: total cost of legal commitments (contracts, grants, agreements/decisions) for one budgetary year ◦ Payment appropriations: total payments due for one budgetary year based on the legal commitments of that year and earlier years 5
